1, 15 and 30 for the psychosis ask meme
1) What was your first delusion?
Hm, I'm not sure! I had a lot of odd beliefs as a child, but I think to some degree that's normal? But I probably had more of those than most people...
But my first actual psychotic episode was when my roommate was possessed by a demon that tried to make them kill me.
15) Is there a situation you can laugh about now, which was scary at the time?
I can laugh about most of my episodes and delusions, I think? They're all a little absurd, from a certain perspective. Even if it's gallows humor.
30) What goes through your head when you see βCute but Psychoβ?
Mixed feelings, I guess. I kind of want to reclaim that phrase, but it kind of really bothers me, as does any use of the word "psycho" where it means "evil". I think it's kind of bizarre that people are apparently supposed to identify with that phrase? Like, I've seen it on shirts and buttons that people are apparently supposed to buy and wear? Who is that supposed to be for?
